Reborn, meet you again!
Chapter 121 Cover up
Song Yi listened to Jun Jiuchen's words and realized that something seemed wrong.
Kill them all?
He just asked him to leave the prime minister's residence. When did he want to kill him?
But just as he was about to say something, Song Yan beside him suddenly stood up.
Perhaps because of fear, her face turned abnormally pale. If it weren't for the rouge on her face, the paleness would have been revealed long ago.
But she tried her best to control her emotions and her body that was almost shaking, pretending to be a daughter who was worried about her father, and spoke as calmly as possible.
"Your Highness, I know a little bit about what happened back then. It is indeed the Prime Minister's Mansion that has let you down."
"But now that the prince still has use for my father, could you please give the prime minister's family a chance to atone for their sins?"
"If Your Highness insists on investigating, I am willing to take the blame for my father and follow Your Highness to the Five Elements Department. No matter how Your Highness wishes to punish me, even if You want to kill me, I will not hesitate!"
"I only hope that Your Highness will forgive my father for all the hard work he has put into serving you these days."
She never expected that Jun Jiuchen was still alive.
But if what happened back then were to be exposed, Jun Jiuchen and his father would definitely re-investigate the matter.
Then it is very likely that what she did back then could not be concealed.
She couldn't bear to watch all this happen before her eyes.
Fortunately, my father will leave for Beijing tomorrow.
She could also try to delay for a while and use this time to think about how to deal with the situation.
Seeing his sister suppressing her fear and speaking up for their father, Song Jing, who was standing by, thought to himself that as the only male in the prime minister's family, how could he be afraid of death? He also stood up and bowed to Jun Jiuchen.
"Your Highness, my third sister is just an unmarried girl. If the son should pay for his father's debt, then I should bear the blame for my father."
"Please don't embarrass my father, Your Majesty."
Song Yi was suddenly interrupted by his two children and frowned slightly.
Yan'er and Jing'er didn't know the inside story. They probably thought that he drove away "Song Shi" because he felt that he was not worthy of Wan'er and was flattering the powerful and looking down on the weak, so they hurried to plead for him.
But if they do this at this time, isn't it tantamount to adding fuel to the fire and counterproductive?
Besides, Jun Jiuchen's words were clearly a little strange, so why were they so anxious to admit their mistakes on his behalf?
Song Yi thought about it and said to the two of them with a serious expression.
"Everyone sit down!"
"My father is still alive. It's not your turn to bear any responsibility for my sins."
As Song Yi spoke, his eyes swept across the hall.
Although Jun Jiuchen is now the regent, he committed a serious crime by assassinating the late queen. At that time, only he and Uncle Fu knew about it. Now, of course, the fewer people who know about it, the better.
What's more, there is an outsider, Miss Jiang, present in the hall today, so it is not appropriate for him to talk about his affair with Wan'er in public.
After thinking for a moment, he continued to look at Jun Jiuchen.
"I am somewhat confused by what Your Highness said today. Could Your Highness please move to the study to discuss this?"
Song Yan was shocked when he heard this.
No, they cannot be allowed to have an interview.
But her father was so smart. What she had just said was already a bit risky. If she did anything else now, her father would probably become suspicious.
But if she did nothing, the consequences might be even worse.
After much deliberation, Song Yan could only give up and pretend to be worried like a father, echoing his words in a ambiguous way.
"Father is right, Your Highness. Since you've been in the Prime Minister's Residence before, you must know my father's character. He probably had his own reasons for what he did back then."
"Your Highness, why don't you have a good talk with my father and listen to his explanation?"
Jun Jiuchen restrained the smile on his face when he heard this.
The father-son love is so touching, it makes him look like a villain...
As for what the hardship is.
He didn't want to listen at all.
"No need to explain anything."
"But you don't need to be too anxious. I didn't come here today to seek revenge."
"I just came here with good intentions to remind Prime Minister Song that you... still owe me your life."
"This time, in order to restore stability to His Majesty, I have no choice but to use you. But you must remember that in my heart, you have no credibility at all..."
"If you are content to assist His Majesty alongside me, I will be fine. However, if you continue to act insincerely and seek more, I will show no mercy."
"By then, it won't be as simple as guarding the late emperor's mausoleum!"
Jun Jiuchen stood up as he spoke, as if he didn't want to stay here any longer. He picked up the wine glass on the table and continued.
"Today's trip will be considered as my apology for Prime Minister Song. I hope Prime Minister Song has a safe journey south this time and can wash away your reputation as a treacherous prime minister!"
"After all, Your Majesty is not the late emperor. You do not need a scheming prime minister who is hated by the people."
Then, he drank the wine in the glass and walked out the door.
The reason why he accepted the invitation today was just to warn Song Yi not to use those shameful methods on him again.
He could temporarily put aside his personal hatred for the sake of his adoptive father and the territory that countless Mobei soldiers had fought to defend with their lives.
However, he would never be allowed to have any inappropriate thoughts or even have any connection with King Huai's party once he regained power.
Seeing Jun Jiuchen walk away resolutely, Song Yi quickly glanced at Uncle Fu beside him.
"Uncle Fu, please see the Regent off for me."
When Uncle Fu saw the Prime Minister nodded at him, he immediately understood and replied "yes" and followed him.
Song Wan, who stayed where he was, was at a loss for a moment.
Jun Jiuchen's behavior today somewhat disrupted her original plan.
But her father was about to leave Beijing. She had just heard the conversation between Jun Jiuchen and her father, and she was anxious to ask her father the truth, so she gritted her teeth and stayed.
